Senior Member Patriot34 Posted November 11, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2013 To get a fair assessment you will have to provide some better quality pictures. No one can objectively judge the work based on that picture. Try a better camera if you have it with different lighting. At 6 months we should be able to get a pretty good guess at how things are going if you can provide better pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member razzy Posted November 11, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2013 How many grafts? Doesn't look like what its suppose to be for 6 months.. (could be late bloomer though) HT#1 - Dr. Rahal (Jan 2012) - 4700 grafts HT#2 - Dr. Rahal (Jan 2014) - 1800 grafts HT#3 - Dr. Konior (Jan 2018) - 1200 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bunnyman Posted November 11, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2013 Sorry, but I cannot see any material difference between your pre- and post HT pics. I don't know how many grafts you had, but regardless, the effect of the HT is so far minimal in my opinion. I hope you have much better results over the next 6 months.

Senior Member hairthere Posted November 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2013 You can definitely see a more defined hairline but the growth and maturation aren't there yet. You still have plenty of time so no need to worry just yet.

Senior Member Mickey85 Posted November 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 14, 2013 As it stands... If NOTHING changed from now to month 10, I would not be happy. However there have been cases where major change has occurred from months 6 to 10 so you do have to wait it out.

Senior Member Yiddo Posted November 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 14, 2013 How many grafts, fut or fue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BaldingBogger Posted November 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 14, 2013 I cant see any change at all. You should be seeing some growth at 6 months. Still plenty of time so chin up and try forget about for a few months. Communicate your concerns to your clinic though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member liv72 Posted November 15, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted November 15, 2013 Boomer , cases like yours are extremely rare... tacolinowest if in 2 month nothing good happens ,you can ask for a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted November 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) "...if in 2 month nothing good happens ,you can ask for a refund" So despite the fact that EVERY HT doctor agrees it takes at least 12-18 months to see the final results he should ask for a refund at 8 months? Makes perfect sense…. Taco, If in two months the growth does not look on point a visit to Dr. Feller to express concern is a fine idea.

Senior Member 1978matt Posted November 17, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2013 I looked back at your original thread and the 15 days post-op photo. That's about how much hair you should expect, or should I say will get, in 12-18 months. Perhaps the weaker existing hairs were shocked out and everything that is up front is now new hairs. Kind of a 2 steps forward and 1 step back sort of thing which explains why it doesn't look that different yet. We are spoilt on here with stories of early growth when this isn't the reality. You only have to look at the blogs to find that most people barely see anything until 6+ months. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
